Call for Papers (txt, pdf)

Overview

WWV is a yearly workshop that aims to provide an interdisciplinary forum to facilitate the cross-fertilization and the advancement of hybrid methods that exploit concepts and tools drawn from rule-based programming, formal methods, software engineering and Web-oriented research. Celebrating its 10th edition this year, the WWV workshop series has established itself as a lively, friendly event with many interactions and discussions.

Nowadays, many companies and institutions have diverted their Web sites into interactive, completely automated, Web-based applications for areas such as e-business, e-learning, e-government and e-health. The increased complexity and the explosive growth of Web systems has made their design and implementation a challenging task. Systematic, formal approaches to their specification and verification can permit to address the problems of this specific domain by means of automated and effective techniques and tools.

This year, WWV is a satellite workshop of FLoC 2014, associated to the 7th International Joint Conference on Automated Reasoning (IJCAR 2014).

Topics of either theoretical or applied interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Rule-based approaches to Web system analysis, certification, specification, verification and optimization
  • Languages and models for programming and designing Web systems
  • Formal methods for describing and reasoning about Web systems
  • Model-checking, synthesis and debugging of Web systems
  • Analysis and verification of linked data
  • Abstract interpretation and program transformation applied to the semantic Web
  • Middleware and frameworks for composition and orchestration of Web services
  • Software Product Line Engineering for Web systems
  • Feature-oriented modeling and variability analysis of Web systems

Important dates

Abstract submission   April 25, 2014
Paper submission   May 2, 2014
Notification of acceptance   May 30, 2014
Camera ready versions   June 20, 2014

Submission

We solicit the submission of original and unpublished contributions not under review for publication elsewhere, which include full papers and short papers.

  • Full (regular) papers must be prepared in LaTeX using the EPTCS-style format and they should not exceed 15 pages (typeset 11 points). All accepted papers will be included in the proceedings.
  • Short papers are concerned with work-in-progress or tool papers and they should not exceed 6 pages. Short papers might not be included in the proceedings (a selection is invited for the proceedings).

All contributions will be evaluated by at least three reviewers, chosen by the Program Committee. Contributions should be submitted in PDF format through the

>>> EasyChair online submission system <<<

Submission of a paper involves a firm commitment that at least one of the authors will attend and participate in the workshop in case the paper is accepted.

Publication

All accepted regular papers will be included in the proceedings, which will be published as a volume of the EPTCS series (WWV publication is indexed in DBLP and Microsoft Academic Research, among other important repositories). Selected short papers will be invited to the proceedings.

An open call for a special issue of a high-quality journal on the topic of the WWV workshop is envisaged. This has been common practice for WWV since 2009.

The previous 9 editions of WWV attracted high-quality papers that were published in ENTCS (WWV'05, WWV'07 and WWV'08), by IEEE (WWV'06) and in EPTCS (WWV'11, WWV'12 and WWV'13). After WWV'09, a special issue of the Journal of Symbolic Computation on the topics of the WWV was organized. Similarly, a special issue of the Journal of Applied Logic was organized after WWV'10 and special issues of the Journal of Logic and Algebraic Programming were organized after WWV'11, WWV'12 and WWV'13.
